The Week of Spring Forward

Like mother, like daughter. Leigh's daughter is a little dramatic and said she needed sunglasses the first "get-up and go" day after the time change because it was just too early for a Monday.

(Leigh lost an hour with Daylight Saving Time, and that means she dug into the archives in order to make her deadline this week. One year later, her opinion about Spring Forward has not changed one bit. She just jazzed it up this week to make things current.)

I don’t know what time it is.

I do this every year. I cannot get used to the moving clocks forward.

At 6 p.m., we should be having dinner, but I’m still wandering around the house trying to find that lost hour. We’re eating later.We’re bathing the kids later.Even bedtime gets pushed back.
